Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N318CT, is a 1990-build Cessna 560 Citation V with manufacturer listed as Cessna (Textron Aviation) and serial number 560-0081. The airframe is recorded as owned by LAMPLIGHTER 88 LLC, a corporation based in the Seguin / San Antonio area, TX, US, and operates under a United States registration (US). The airframe’s published valuation stands at $1,900,000, reflecting market position and condition indicators for late-model Citation Vs. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this tail number beyond the current corporate registration.
The cabin for this airframe is described in model-typical terms: a standard executive layout accommodating 7–8 passenger club/forward-aft seating with belted lavatory seat; exact individual fitment for N318CT is not published, so this represents the common Citation V executive configuration. Avionics are reported as Honeywell Primus series installations, which may vary by retrofit and where originally equipped; the original Citation V commonly featured captain-side EFIS / Primus components. Based from the Seguin / San Antonio area, TX, the aircraft’s performance (cruise and range) supports regional to transcontinental missions typical of light business jets, including owner/operator corporate transport and on-demand charter roles. Maintenance considerations follow Citation V type norms given its age and Pratt & Whitney JT15D powerplants; specific maintenance history for N318CT is not published.
The Cessna 560 Citation V occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for its class with a maximum cruise near 425 kts and service ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competing models in its era included other light to midsize jets with similar range and seating; buyer demand often targets seasoned operators seeking economical ownership costs and established support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1990 airframe revolve around avionics retrofits (Honeywell Primus upgrades noted) and engine/airframe hours; the published market value of $1,900,000 reflects these lifecycle factors.
